How many Enviros have Halifax got at present please? Right now it be first half the fleet. I’d assume 33873 - 33881. I could be wrong 33882 & 33883 as well.

33884 was on the 503 this afternoon, I was on it. It didn’t like the climb up the bypass. We got overtaken by a Zest and to be fair, it wasn’t a slow overtake...

The newer ZF gearboxes on these E400’s are all more eco friendly and don’t have as much as readily Kickdown as the older ZF B7TL. Other than that they’ve been alright on the 49. But the hill to Ainley Top is a slow progression hill. So would wield different results.

Used to drive enviros on the 49 nearly every day and were faster than b7s and b9s

Bradford are using a single deck with a pink front, I'm guessing its a recent transfer from an First operator that uses coloured fronts. I didn't catch the number.

It wasn’t a DTV, it was on the 612 and has been given ‘Bradford’ skylines.

It's a temporary measure before it joins the other ex-Leicester bus as a DTV apparently.
They should use the 02 plate B7s as DTV and put the 05 plate ex-Leicester buses in permanent service with paint job.

Looks like the last First deckers leased at Bolton to Diamond have left the fleet. Including one of the diverted Leeds Streetdecks. Wonder if it will now enter service in the city?

SORN stands for Statutory Off Road Notification and it's used to tell the DVLA that your vehicle isn't parked or being used on public roads.

When it is SORN’d they don’t need to pay tax for the vehicle
